To ALLl wHoM IT MAY ooNoERN: l Be it known that I, J. C. JORDAN, ofWatertown, in the' county of Jefferson, and Stateof Wisconsin, haveinvented a new and improved Combined Punch and Shears; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part` ofthis specification, in which- Figure 1 is aside elevation, partly insection, of my improved punch and shears. l Figure 2 is a frontelevation of the same. v

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

This invention relates to a machine wherein sheet and bariron and othermetals can be cut or punched, as may be desired; andthe inventionconsists in so shaping the main lever ofthe machine that it will at thesametime force down a punch by a cam, and operate the shears, one of theblades of which is secured to the said lever.

A represents the frame ofthe machine,which can be made of cast iron orother suitable metal or material. It rests upon four (more or less)supports or feet, b, and is formedrof three portions, c, d, and e, whichmaybe cast together in one piece, or be made in distinct pieces' boltedor secured together in any suitable manner. They portion c forms thestandard for the punch, being bent in theusual manner, so that the-upperarm will serve as a guide for the punch or mandrel, and the lower armwill form the bed, on which the diefis secured. 'The portion d is an armprojecting from the front of the frame, and holding the lower orstationary blade B of the shears,

s which is secured to it by means of bolts, or inany other suitablemanner. The portion e is the frame for-*supporting the working mechanismofthe machine.' C is a lever, pivoted to theframe-A, ncarito its frontand nearly above the line ofthe punch, or level with the shears, by apin, g. The rear or long arm vof thelever C is provided with a toothedsegment, D, whiclrmeshes into a pinion, E, that is mounted on a pin,7L', Aas shown. A

plate, z', the upper and lower ends of which are firmly secured to theframe A, serves as a support for one end ofthe piu-g, and a similarplate, K, supports or forms a bearing for the axle of the pinion E. Ahandle, F, is

*r secured to the pinion, and by working it up and down the lever C willbe oscillated. At ,the front end of the lever C is arranged a lip, Z,which serves to hold the upper movable blade G of the shears, and whichstands in such a relation to the part d of the frame A, that byoscillating the lever C the cutting edges of the blades B and G will bebrought towards each other, and well-working shears are thus provided.The lower portion Hof y the front arm of the lever C is madein the formof a cam, as shown, and its lower surface touches the upper end of themandrel I, which slides in a box, L, thatis provided in the frame Whenthe long arm of the lever Cis raised, the short arm will be lowered,Vand the cam H will force the mandrel down, and with it the isdepressed'.

f used, one of which only could be used or applied at the same time.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

punch M, which is'held in the mandrel by anyusuitable device. The cam His connected with the mandrel by means of a plate or plates, m, wherebythe latter is raised with the cam as soon as the long arm of the lever CThus the punch and shears can be worked at the same time in thisapparatus, and one machine is ,made to perform the same work for whichtwo were used heretofore, or where at least two sets of tools wereheretofore 'i The combination of the frame A, lever C, cogged segment D,pinion E, handle F, shears B G, cam box L, mandrelI, punch M, and dief,all arranged and operating substantially as herein describedandrepresented.

J.' C. JORDAN.
